Paula Poundstone

I'm sick maybe I made myself sick
The mind is a powerful thing
Mine is out of fucking control

New years eve
I've got an engagement
Hosting/comedy
Whatever u want 2 call it
For a friends lounge/bar/club
Tonite

I do not want 2 do it
My voice is going
I'm coughing
And nasal floudage
To the max

I'm watching paula pondstone
Bravo special from a series
3 funny ladies
Paula is a brave soul
A powerful woman
I don't think she knows

About 3 years back
I was eating in sm
Mexican resteraunt
With friends

Paula came in
With her 3 kids
Sat across the room
2 eat as a family

My friends were making me
Fight the urge 2 say hello
Needless to say
They lost

She got up
2 go to pee
I assume
I jumped

Hey I'm sure u don't know me
I said to this woman
Still outwardly suffering
From her public crusifixtion
Unjust

Im an aspiring comedian
I told this woman
Even in her darkness
Glowed brighter than ever

You are so funny
You are better than this
Get back up there
I know u have stuff 2 say
And we will listen

Thank you very much
She replied
Avoiding eye contact

Last ditch effort
As I see my friends
Bright red with embarrisment
Out of the corner of my eye

Just do it
Stand up
Joke
Make us laugh
U are worth it

She made brief contact
Eye to eye
Said maybe u r rite
Never give up
This genius told me

Never give up
A theme 4 me
More than a few
Sucessful people
I've admired
Have told me this
I still think
Of throwing in the towel
Almost daily

Paula's back
Better than ever
Funny. Laughing.
Making the world
A brighter place.

Ok now a nap
I've got 2 do it
Tonight
In spite of myself
Here we go...
